3.0 Installation Recommendations
3.01 Environment
The Pro-Wave 185TSW is designed for use in hazardous environments.
Examples of environments with increased hazardous environments are -
a) In locations in which freedom of movement is restricted, so that the operator is forced to
perform the work in a cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying) position with physical contact
with conductive parts;
b) In locations which are fully or partially limited by conductive elements, and in which
there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact by the operator, or
c) In wet or damp hot locations where humidity or perspiration considerably reduces the
skin resistance of the human body and the insulation properties of accessories.
Environments with hazardous environments do not include places where electrically conductive
parts in the near vicinity of the operator, which can cause increased hazard, have been
insulated.
3.02 Location
Be sure to locate the welder according to the following guidelines:
•
In areas, free from moisture and dust.
•
Ambient temperature between 0 degrees C
to 40 degrees C.
•
In areas, free from oil, steam and
corrosive gases.
•
In areas, not subjected to abnormal
vibration or shock.
•
In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or
rain.
•
Place at a distance of 12” (304.79mm) or
more from walls or similar that could
restrict natural airflow for cooling.
